Tour guides were great and it gives you a real taste of the whole island. Was one of the highlights of our stay. Would highly recommend to families with older kids as a fun way to see Sal beyond the resort. Take your own crocks or sea shoes to paddle with the lemon sharks if you have them, if not the tour guide will arrange to rent from a local for a small fee. You also need a bandana to protect you from the sand and wind which you can buy from the tour operator on arrival. Take plenty of water.
Sal's white sands are regulars on the ‘best beach' lists, and you'll see plenty of them and more on this off-road four-seater buggy tour. Take the driving seat, or let an experienced guide drive so you can focus on taking the pics. You'll visit the moon-like landscapes of the Santa Maria salt flats and roar up the rugged Serra Negra – the highest hill in the south of the island - for views of the Atlantic Ocean. Visit Kite Beach, Palha Verde and Ponta Preta, or on the four-hour tour you'll see coastal treasures like the fishing village of Palmeira and look for lemon sharks in Shark Bay.
